I had to have this conversation with. Repub relative. They love Star Trek. They’re rewatching DS9, again, right now.

Announces to me that they won’t be watching Discovery because it’s fallen to the “woke” agenda. To be fair, I’ve only seen season 1 (access issue), but I immediately had to laugh at them. Woke is Star Trek, Star Trek is woke, since TOS. Just what do you think you’ve been watching all these years?

They said something about Stacey Abrams being on it. My voiced thought was and how do you feel about the entire (hyperbole) cast of Roots (the original) being dispersed throughout Star Trek? Do we need to talk about Captain Sisko, or Commander Geordi La Forge? And Takai has said Roddenberry knew he was gay, kind of a big deal back then. I could go on, as you well know.

It’s just a bizarre take from someone into Star Trek their whole lives.

It's also fun when they complain about a TV show which, in the 1960s, tackled subjects like Vietnam, the cold war, racism and fundamentalist religious beliefs being too political these days.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
